PEDESTRIAN TOUR. 



The circuit of the Lake District lias now been de- 

 scribed in the course which will be found most 

 convenient to the majority of tourists, viz., — those 

 who travel in carriages. There still remains some- 

 thing- more to be done, for the sake of pedestrians. 

 There are many places which they will delig-ht to 

 visit that cannot be reached by carriage travellers, 

 and many fine views which they alone can enjoy. 

 In order to enable them to make the best use of 

 their time, the following tour has been sketched 

 out. It has been planned with a special view to 

 avoiding the main roads, in order to give the tra- 

 veller as much mountaineering as possible. We 

 need not dwell on the pleasures of climbing the 

 heights, and of threading the little-frequented 

 dales : for they must be experienced to be appre- 

 ciated. The pedestrian will find, at the end of his 

 circuit, that he has seen the district more thorough- 

 ly than he could have done in any other way. The 

 tour is divided into ten days ; but it may be 

 lengthened or restricted. The distance marked out 

 for each day's journey is very moderate, in order to 

 admit of the traveller's visiting whatever there is of 

 interest in the neighbourhood of his halting place.
